Ripples is an app that can help you make new habits stick and be more consistent with any goal you’re working towards. It provides an easy way to check in on the actions you’re tracking and then displays your progress in a calendar grid, making it easy to see patterns and potential areas for improvement.
CALENDAR GRID
It gives you a bird’s-eye view of your progress. It’s purely visual and intuitive. Each cell of the grid changes colour depending on your activity on a specific day. It tracks either the number of times you check in or a specific amount — time, distance, calories, money, etc. — depending on your preference. Cells with higher values become more prominent. Over time, you’ll be able to see patterns on the grid: days when you’re making a lot of progress and days when you’re falling behind. This gives you data to adjust things in real life and improve.
VITAL METRICS AND ANALYTICS
For every tracked action, you can see metrics such as your current and best streak, consistency score, and overall progress for a given day, week, month, and year. And if you want to dive even deeper into the stats, there are multiple charts and visualisations of your data that give you a historical overview of your progress.
TRACKING AMOUNTS
This gives you the option to add a value and a unit to the action you’re tracking. For example, you can track how much time you’ve spent on your goal, how much money you’ve saved or spent, or anything that involves distance, weight, calories, etc. You can also add custom units. All visualisations for actions with amounts will adjust and take into account the values you enter: the grid will highlight cells with larger amounts and breakdown charts will also be amount-based instead of just counting the number of check-ins.
REMINDERS
For every action you track in Ripples, you can set multiple daily reminders to help you remember and build a habit. You can also set a single review reminder to go back and check in on actions you might have forgotten to track.
NOTES AND JOURNAL
You can take notes alongside every check-in when reaching important milestones or simply highlighting things to look back on. These notes are organised in a dedicated Journal view where you can explore and search all your notes.
SHORTCUTS AND SIRI
You can integrate Ripples shortcuts into your automation workflows and use Siri phrases to check in on your progress.
WIDGETS
Interactive Home Screen and Control Centre widgets keep important goals always in sight and let you check in without even opening the app. The widget shows the grid, the name of the action you’re tracking, as well as the time of your last check-in or the current amount value for the day. There are multiple widget styles to choose from to fit the aesthetics of your Home Screen.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN!
Habits and goals are some of the most personal and sensitive aspects of people’s lives. That’s why, with Ripples, all your data can be seen by you exclusively and only leaves your devices for synchronisation via iCloud, while being end-to-end encrypted. Privacy is one of the core principles and runs through every technical and design decision during development.

Thank you! Glad it feels native, that's very much what I was going for :)
- Improved responsiveness of board reordering.
- Fixed an issue where boards would sometimes not roll over to the next day when the app opened right after midnight.
- Stability fixes and improvements.
